Washington Sundae as a frontline bat

In a very short career Sundar looked as composed a test bat as I've seen for a 21 year old on debut. Shouldn't India be grooming him to replace an aging Sharma, Kohli, Pujara, Rahane in a couple years? Ignore the mediocre spin What am I missing?

needs Rhodes

You could also shoehorn Sydney Barnes in there.

 

[AndrewB]

I assume that aged 50 plus days doesn't count; otherwise Sutcliffe would be eligible (and Bestwick to bolster the pace bowling).

 

[Chubb]

I think Gooch played an MCC first class match post-50 but it might not have been first class.
